Well I know its been bad for a while, and I know I have been affording it thinking of any and every excuse in the book ( and some not in the book) to pretend it did not matter and that I would eventually sort it out.  But know it is time, time for me to take stock and sort my weight out.

So I have been working over the weekend to look at how I can get back on track and have worked through all of my possible shift patterns in work (both jobs) to see how I can fit the gym and swimming into my ‘so called’ hectic life style.

And the silly thing is, I worked it all out and no longer have any excuses as to why I should not go back to the gym.

So this morning I weighted in and am ashamed to say that I am now 18 stone 7.2lb, not a very flattering number at all.  Looking back on my weight loss it puts me back to where I was this time last year, so essentially a year wasted as far as my diet and general plan towards fitness are concerned.  I am obviously not too happy about it, but knew I have been deceiving myself for quite some time.

So my plan is to reduce my food intake to 2000 calories a day and try to burn off in the gym about 600 calories a session and possibly another 5-600 in the pool as well.

So lets see where this goes and I hope that this time I can keep the focus long enough to try to get back below 17 stone before my 42nd birthday, if not below 16 stone.

So this is a very determined G signing off for another day
